Support your local outfitter. When I got into trapping earlier this season I was disappointed with the lack of offerings at all the familiar big box stores. Then I discovered an old world trap shed not too far away run by an old timer who has been doing it since the 1970s. What a treasure. I haven't set foot in a Cabelas or Sportsmen warehouse or a Bass Pro in I don't know how long. I buy all my stuff at a small independently owned shop or order it on-line from a different one. No need to go to these big corporate stores if you don't like their policies.

I'm not a fan of Bass Pro. After talking with several Cabelas employees at a store near me, they don't think much of the Bass Pro take over either. "Redhead" is code for less quality.

I sure Wish we'd get a Scheels near here The closest Scheels to me is a little over an hour, the second closest is two hours away. I frequent both somewhat regularly. I don't know exactly where you live but I suspect the closest to you would be either St. Cloud or Eden Prairie.

Bass Pro Shops donated $10,000 to the NTA in 2020. That earns them some business from me. That's good to hear, ill remember that next time I get near one and give them some business!

On a brighter note, I picked up some .223 shells a t Scheels yesterday. After tax, they were right at $65/100. They had some 9mm and .380 also. The 9mm, was $72.99/200 round pack, plus tax.
